Random disconnects.
I bought an R7000 about a week ago now. My other router kept going wonky on me, could not take any load for any amount of time and was generally a miserable experience.
Now, for my problem with the R7000: I keep having random disconnects. During this time, the internet totally cuts off. The Genie tells me my internet has disconnected. It then resumes normal operation within like 5 or maybe 8 seconds. This happens from once to three times ever hour. I tried upgrading firmware, and custom firmware. Any help for me? Thanks!

- I began having constant disconnects a few days ago. I did the factory reset and re-entered my settings. Dropouts continued. I disconnected the HP HD /Readyshare drive and all is stable.
I will test further when I have time.
chirs - Is there a model that didn't have some sort of ReadyShare issue?
- I still have the same dropping problem. My first WNDR3700v4 was replaced by NG after spending 3 hours on the phone with NG service. NG sent me a new WNDR3700v4 and it ran fine for 1.5 months and now it is dropping the internet about 3 times an hours. My charter modem is not dropping the internet, all lights are normal with the drop, it has to be the R3700.
Hate to but will probably go back to the old other brand router, it is slow but does not drop. - @searay
Do you have any experience with ReadyNAS? - Ready share has never been turned on because of the negative comments found on the forums.
The dropping of the internet is experienced on each of my computers: XP, 7 and 8. WNDR3700v4 wrote: I still have the same dropping problem.

Why are we hearing about R3700 disconnects in this R7000 thread? Or did you mean you're having disconnects with your R7000?- It's a typo because there is no Netgear R3700.
- I have a similar problem..I was using PTV3000 and recently upgraded the firmware and it worked well for some time but after few days...the device restarts itself repeatedly and cannot make any connection.
Please let me if there is an other alternative to solve this issue.
